French airframer Daher has reached a milestone with the rollout of the 1,000th TBM-series airplane. The landmark turboprop single, a TBM 940, will be delivered later this week to U.S.-based owner-operator James Hislop, an experienced private pilot and investment banker, at the company’s Pompano Beach, Florida facility. Hislop also serves as a volunteer pilot with several charity organizations, including Mercy Flights Southeast, Angel Flights Northeast, and Patient Airlift Services.
